Apparently, "Google is in 'late stage' talks to acquire microblogging service Twitter, according to a report Thursday on TechCrunch citing two unnamed sources." This rumour is pretty juicy because Facebook tried to buy Twitter when it first started to become popular, but that never happened. As Twitter's popularity expands, Facebook continues to try to imitate them as much as possible - clearly missing the big picture. It would be interesting to see how Twitter would help Google in the future. Whatever happened to that rumour about Google acquiring Skype from Ebay?
